Radovan Karadzic will appear before the court first on 28 October 2008 at a status conference in his case. On 3 November 2008, Karadzic will start his testimony as a defense witness in the appellate proceedings in the Momcilo Krajisnik case; his testimony is due to last until 5 November. If the Trial Chamber confirms the amended indictment against him, Karadzic will be called to enter his plea on the new counts


Between late October an early November 2008 Radovan Karadzic will appear quite a few times in the Tribunal courtrooms, in different capacities.

Karadzic will appear first as the accused on 28 October 2008 at the second status conference scheduled today by pre-trial judge Bonomy. A week later, on 3 November Karadzic will appear before the Appeals Chamber as a defense witness in the appellate proceedings in the Momcilo Krajisnik case. Krajisnik and the prosecution will be given three days for the examination and cross-examination of Radovan Karadzic.

Eventually, if the Trial Chamber grants the prosecution motion to file an amended indictment, Karadzic will appear once again before Judge Bonomy to enter his plea on the new charges.

The amended indictment, submitted on 22 September 2008 by the prosecution, charges Karadzic with two counts of genocide: in ten BH municipalities between 31 March and 31 December 1992 and in Srebrenica in July 1995.
